Iran - The Broken Soul (DVD)

A rare documentary about the
serial killings ofintellectuals
which took place in Autumn 1998 in Tehran

By: Jamshid Golmakani (In
English language)

This investigative inquiry looks into
a series of assassination of intellectuals which took place in Autumn
1998 in Tehran. The population was fuorous and wanted the responsible
individuals or entities invloved in this hanus crime brought to justice.
One month late, for the 1st time, the Iranian Minster of information and
Security admitted their involvement in these assassinations.This film shows
that this Ministry is at the heart of terror and the repression which the
Iraian people suffer, under the direct control of the Supreme Spritual
leader (first Khomeini and now Khamenei). It also shows, the tactics
used by the Iranian authorities to make sure that those who give the orders
are never named. The Ayatollahs in power wrote Fatwas condemning a
certain number of intellectual opposition members to death.

The film follows closely the difficult
struggle by the victims' families to have those who executed and ordered
these assassinations denounced. In January
2001, two years after the series of political assassinations of Automn 1998,
the Military Tribunal of Tehran, tried and convicted behind closed doors a
few agents of the Ministry of Infromation and Security. The victims'
families boycotted the trial.

Today they continue their struggle to
have those who are "truly responsible" charged and tried before an
independent and competent tribunal of justice.
